Glrmuii are awakening- to the fact

statement recently made by Admiral
von TlrpIU, former minister of ma
rine, who declared:
"We ong-ht to have reckoned with
the fact that the American truit iK
natea were bound to deslr. our de
feat." "America's entry into the war Is dls
adTantaKeou to u In moral and In
many 'other wars," he said.
"I regret that we did sot remain
firm In the face of President Wilson's
threats. If we had done so, things
probably would have been very dif
ferent, but now we must take them as
they are."
He asserted that from a military
viewpoint. America's entry Into the
war is of "little significance," but thai
the tonnage question would prove decisive

BRITAIN CUTS TAXES
TO INCREASE MARRIAGES
LONDON, Nov. S3. When the Brit
ish government is contemplating
granting an Income tax exemption of
S230 a year to married men does It
mean they figure the upkeep of a
wife at that amount?
British wives are wondering If
friend hubby Is going to make them
keep their lingerie, candy, theater.
and other personal expenses within
that amount.
But speaking seriously, the govern
ment's contemplated change Is said to
be Inspired mainly by the desire to
encourage marriage. Post-war man
power Is dally becoming a matter of
more serious consideration.

BRYAN 10 TESTIFY
AT LA FOLLEJTE
Rear Admiral TV. L. Capps, general
manager of the emergency fleet cor
poration, will soon retire from that
post because of 111 health. On Im
perative orders of his doctor, Capps
will take a complete rest, It was of
ficially learned today.
Reports that another Denman-
Goethals row Impends between Capps
and Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board were denied at the Navy De
partment and at Hurler's office. Pa
triotic devotion to the superhuman
task of meeting submarine losses. It
was stated, undermined Capps al
ready frail physique. Recently his
doctor, after a careful examination,
ordered Capps not only to give up
his emergency fleet work, but also
not to reattempt his1 regular naval
construction duties.
Daniels Casulted.
Capps consulted Secretary of the
Nary Daniels, who stated the matter
of Capps retirement will be taken op
with President Wilson Immediately.
Capps was the President's appointee
to All, General Goethals' place follow
ing me jjenman row.
In his conversations with Secretary
Daniels, Capps made so reference to
any troubles within the shipping
board, and offered no criticism of his
associates. It Is persistently report'
od, however, that appointment of
Henry ford and other well-known
business executives over Capps head
his piqued him.
'Whether Rear Admiral Bowles, re
tired, Capps assistant, will follow his
cmer is unrevealed thus far.
Six JUIU.a Tras la 118.
Six million tons of shipping will be
attained, by the shipping board In
1918.
America will more than meet the
requirement of the allies, stated by
Premier IJoyd Grcre as 8,000,000 tons.
according to an announcement from
Chairman Hurler of the board.
Chairman Hurler, of the board. In his
announcement, gave the following
figures on the building program:
There are now building and nnder
contract fluy-elght composite ships
with a total tonnage of 207.000. There
are 145 steel and fabricated ships with
a total tonnage of 2,S,00." Included
In these are fabricated ships of E.000
and 7,600 tons, and steel ships of t.100
and 12,000 tons. There are 175 wooden
ships of a total tonnage of 1,110,900.
This makes a total of 771 ships, with
a total tonnage of 4,201,000.
In addition ships with an aggregate
tonnage of 2.250.000 are being com
mandeered.
INQUIRY MONDAY
BALTIMORE AD BANQUET
BIG PATRIOTIC EVENT
BALTIMORE. Ma, Nor. 23. The
Baltimore Advertising Club Is today
of the opinion that a detailed account
of their banquet last night publish
ed and dropped by airplanes Into the
German trenches would do a lot to
ward weakening the morale of the
Huns. Patriotic rror characterised
the gathering fron start to finish.
Different phases of the war and
the relation of Americans to the
struggle were discussed by the editor
of The Washington Times, James
Schermerhorn, publisher of the De
troit Times, and Ma. Gen. "Joe"
Kuhn, commander at Camp Meade.
Musla and "stunts added much to
the entertainment.
The editor of The Times declared
that the Intelligence of the allies
would win the war.
The editors, the reporters, and
special writers," he said, were not
called In by the Treasury Department
when the Liberty loan was floated,
but skilled advertising experts were
asked to aid In the preparation of
slogans and appeals to the public.
'It Is neither the goose-step nor
men that win wars.1 he said, "but In
telligence. The brains of Lincoln and
Lee fought the civil war, and neither
wore curled mustaches nor bore
death's heads on their hats.
"Greece gave Intelligence to Rome,
and Rome gave It to France; France
gave It to England, and England to
America. And, combined." said the
speaker. "England, France, and the
United States will send It to Berlin."
A sizzling time In expected at the
meeting Monday of the Senate sub
committee which has charge of the
Inquiry Into the St. Paul speech of
Senator La .Follette.
Senator Pomerene. chairman of the
subcommittee, who has returned to
Washington, announces that the ex
amination of witnesses will begin
Monday. Former Secretary of State
Bryan has consented to appear before
the subcommittee apd testify. He
will probably b'e the first witness Mon
day. He will be questioned as to
what statement he made to the Presi
dent with respect to munitions on
board the Lusltanla, a subject which
Senator La Follette discussed In his
St. Paul speech.
Inasmuch as Senator La Follette
has demanded and has been promised
that he be allowed to cross-examine
witnesses. It Is recognized there may
be "an animated exchange between
him and Mr. Bryan.
Senator La Follette Is expected to
demand that the State Department
produce all the documents bearing on
the Lusltanla case. Whether the
State Department will do so Is doubt
ful, as It might hold that such action
would not be In the public Interest.
